I am honestly offended. I am an 18 year old girl, and EVERY single time I start talking back and forth with someone, the conversation goes like this:
So, do you live in Michigan?
Yes
Why are you being thrown out of your house?
(Long explanantion)
Ah, I see. Sorry about that.
Ok
So, are you a virgin?
The F?!?! Why is that any of your business? I mean, hello, I prefer to get to know someone before I start revealing information about my viginity. Also, it typically doesn't stop there. Picture a naked person on a cartoon, and all the places blurred out or covered with a black box are brought up as well. I mean, are you kidding me? Most of the time, these people are 40+ and on there accounts they say they are looking for romance and a long term relationship, not a party in my pants. I don't care how much money or how many countries you have been to, asking things like that form an 18 year old when you haven't even met them is just weird. And gross. If you want to know things like that, I expect you to at least take me out to dinner or the movies or something. I would prefer a park, because I enjoy swings, but whatever floats your boat is cool with me. The park is free though. Just saying. We could pack a picnic, and swing. That would be awsome.

Fun Quotes!
I didn't say it was your fault. I said I was going to blame it on you.
The difference between ignorance and apathy? I don't know, and I couldn't care less.
Some people are like slinkies- they really are good for nothing, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
When life hands you lemons, make grape juice. Then sit back and let the world wonder how you did it

Liv, you are so correct...people will say and do things in the virtual world that they wouldn't do in real life. But this actually could be a good thing...as these people will hide who they are if you meet them in real life, but online the real self comes out. Use this in your favor "grasshopper" allow the person you are speaking with to hang themselves. Don't tell them much about yourself and see how they conduct themselves. If they exhibit negative behavior or behavior different from that which you are seeking, then cut them lose. So in some ways online can be safer as long as you know how to play the game. If you give out info about whom you are, and your beliefs, then it will be used against you. It's when someone doesn't know your feelings on a issue, that's when you get to see the real them. So limit the info...or lead the person you are speaking with in a direction in which to find out the real them.

The trouble is online dating offers people anonymity, which some take liberty to in a very negative way. So the things they could never say to a girl face to face, they are able to feel bold enough to say online, afterall, it is anonymous! Sadly, MM and other dating sites are generally over-populated with boys (notice I do not call them men) like that. Don't let that p*ss you off so much. Just ignore or block them after you articulately give them a piece of your mind. Don't spare them the constructive venom.

Perhaps you may want to try meeting people in the real world and closer to you and those that share your obviously decent values. You are still very young with a bright future ahead of you.

Good luck in your search.

Liv.
